I should do something with my life. I can’t find my purpose. I have yet to live it either. I’ve been stuck trying college after college, trade school after trade school, courses after courses and nothing. No spark, no idea, no inspiration or love for anything. I hate this life - Caius, 34322 years old. Crime: Human Trafficking. Number of victims: Unknown.
Nobody trusts me to do anything. I have no privacy, I have no way to show them that I mean well. And all they do is persecute me. Man, the things I’ve done are in the past. Why don’t they understand that? It was so long ago, I barely remember it anymore. - Marcus, 17743 years old. Crime: Money Laundering and Fraud. Number of victims: 124043.
Woooo! Nothing like some cocaine first thing in the morning to jolt you right up. I missed this stuff. Ten thousand years in prison does stuff to you, man. Believe me. I’ve seen some weird shit. If you think you have some weird of fucked up kink, you should try getting into a jail and see the shit that’s going on in there. Damn! It’s good to be outta there. - Bessus, 20233 years old. Crime: Rapist. Number of victims: Unknown.
It feels good to be king. This ring is all I have left. They don’t know me, nor do I want them to. All I care is that they let me fight. My body is aching. I can’t wait for the match tomorrow night. I’ll fucking rip him to shreds. I haven’t felt this excited in a long long time. - Brutus, 120345 years old. Crime: Attempted murder by drowning. Number of victims: 1504.
Ten thousand years and they still won’t let me have a decent fucking job. This is so degrading. The fuckers didn’t even make me any papers and they have me wear this stupid fucking tracker to see that I’ve been working. I am so fucking done with this. This is not how you treat a woman. - Mary, 47743 years old. Crime: Child abuse and distribution of child abusive material. Number of victims: 120.
I’ve done good both then and now. I’ve helped struggling communities, I’ve done my job for society. And… Now what? I am cast outside it to be forgotten. I’ve paid for my mistake and yet I can’t seem to integrate back as I’d like. They cut me off. They ruined me! - Verres, 42865 years old. Crime: Corruption, money laundering, frauds and scams. Number of victims: 125432089.
Life is never easy, but I am young. At least that’s what I told myself. Now where the hell did I hide that money? I know it is somewhere around here. I’ve been searching fucking years for this. Damn it! - Bonnie, 21002 years old. Crime: Multiple robberies and scams. Number of victims: 55000.
I haven’t eaten in over fifty five thousand years. Maybe things changed. What should I try first? Maybe a desert? Nah, I want something to satiate my hunger. - Cornelius, 130231 years old. Crime: Child abuse, distribution of child abusive materials, public indecency and public exposure. Number of victims: 3300.
Fuck! Why don’t the fucking drugs work anymore on me? Why can’t I even get drunk anymore? What piss poor joke is this? The only thing that brought me pleasure has now dried up. Fuck! - Gordon, 55005 years old. Crime: Multiple crimes against humanity including human trafficking and a slave trade. Number of victims: 1320405.
Where should I go next? I’ve camped all around these woods and they’re absolutely fascinating. Maybe I should find my way to the sea or to an ocean. I haven’t smelled that ocean breeze in many years. Right, that’s what I’ll do next. - Carvaggio, 66054 years old. Head of a criminal enterprise. Number of victims: 250776.
